I have not done anything to draw these people to me. Its like they can smell someone who is not like them from a mile away. And i know i have the upper hand, cause i know how stupid these people really are.

I believe Magus Gilmore wrote about that in his new book, actually. An analogy involving...leeches? Some similar bloodsucker, anyways.

Yes it's in his explanation about "Might is right". He uses a fully armed soldier wading through a swamp full of leeches as an example of how those little guys in large enough numbers will have the "might" since the soldier could end up so weakened from blodloss that he would bleed to death.

While having never invented a sin, I'm trying to perfect several.

I just finished that essay the other day. It seriously seems to me that these people either A)Have nothing better to do with their lives and wish they were me. OR B)Maybe they have some kind of church quota they are trying to meet.

Cause at least once a day or 2-3 times a week,someone comes up and starts with their questions.

Why does it even become a problem to be surrounded by christians? Far as I can recall, I got along these folks better when I realized I am a Satanist. Both grace and fury made me somewhat charismatic and more appreciated. I never felt surrounded by them in a siege mode; rather, I felt so at home (on the higher ground), knowing I no longer share the same floor with them.

A number of times, I fall into thinking ill of my lot, because of lack of people to agree with. But then I'd think, "Hey," and all is back in place. After all, what do I lose by being surrounded? In fact, I gain by watching all the dirtied sheep say and actually believe they're clean... then all goes downhill and the fun of watching grows. It provides quite a pleasure, after having outgrown spending more than half my days fretting. I am such a happy person!

The un-thought life is not worth living. -Socrates

I can and do judge them as individuals based on their nonsensical beliefs, but I don't stand their scoffing every time I see some rube with a cross around his neck; could be just a simple fashion statement, and many times, it likely is. (just like not every guy sporting a Baphomet around his neck is a Satanist.)

By frowning upon everyone, it is hard to get everywhere in life. Though many individuals and groups piss me off a little bit, there are way too many of them around to not tolerate them to SOME extent. Agree with them? Not necessary. Deal with them? Your gonna see them anytime you leave the house, so you'd better get used to it, quick.

You see, the situation could have been avoided several different ways.

1. Read a different book in public.2. Use illusionary methods to disguise your book.3. Conversation redirection.

The first one is as easy as it gets, you can read plenty of good books in public that usually wont cause a stir. The books in the recommended Satanic Reading list come to mind.

The second one is something I came up by myself which works too well, and it's very simple. I've been reading Sass' Essays in Satanism in public, using one of my illusionary methods, and no one is the wiser.

And finally in the last one, if you choose to be reading Satanic Literature in public, Lesser Magic plays a pivotal role in this method. It would be better to have avoided the situation altogether in the first place, but there are some ways you can fix the situation.

If you don't want attention in that manner, don't give people like that something to latch onto. The masses cannot effectively understand, and you know what happens when large groups of people don't understand things-- The inquisition and Crusades come to mind.
